EHA Advantages

18

Self-Contained Hydraulic Solution• No Hoses

• Drop in solution

– Connect Power & I/O (or Network)

• Configurable as needed

– Setup at the factory to meet your needs

• Integrated Feedback

– Position / Force

19

Efficient Actuation• The EHA does not require any metal to metal contact. A very

quiet solution…

• Mechanical actuators utilize several stages of steel gears rubbing together along with the inefficient use of ACME, ball, or roller screws.

• Taking advantage of the EHA’s efficient power conversion, Kyntronics provides a product that utilizes a smaller motor leading to a smaller package which equates to a compact, lighter & more cost effective solution.

• Energy efficient – only uses power on demand
